Welcome

I am a Professor of Economics at the University of Sydney. My research addresses three broad themes:

(i) the measurement of inequality, poverty and welfare,
(ii) the effect of economic shocks on the dynamic behaviour of families, and
(iii) the impact of public policies on household economic well-being.

My research draws on models of individual and household behaviour combined with microeconometric methods.

Sydney is a great city to live in – and an activity I enjoy all year round is Mountain Trail Bike riding. For my take on the best rides in the Blue Mountains (1-2 hours from Sydney) and surrounds – see the MTB tab.
